Les Miserables - The Staged Concert

Bagged a pair of Dress Circle R/V’s on the end of row C for the Tuesday after Xmas; only £65 each. I’ve sat there before and its fine. Couldn’t justify £90 non premiums really. Got DMT+ as a sorry for numerous Hamilton cancellations so not only will we get free cloakrooms but was able to use priority booking. What a time to be alive.

Do you know when they'll be released? I have priority access for tomorrow but won't bother if it is only his Sat matinees on sale as I want a JOJ show and need a single seat (or a pair of cheap ones).

Snagged front of the Dress Circle for the last Friday night. Slightly restricted view, but I don't mind that for a concert and I'm just glad to have a ticket!

And 90 minutes later I get a special pre-sale email as I had a Les-Mis credit voucher [facepalm]. At least I saved the booking fee!

I have booked for the first night.

I notice that although the seats are socially distanced to your left and right, the seats are grouped directly in front of each other. Will this not compromise social distancing?

that all seems awfully close together when you compare it to the seating that the Open Air theatre had for JCS.

Does anyone know if Bradley Jaden and Rob Houchen are going to be in it?

I'm just glad there were any, but it did rather limit the choices.

Does anyone what time the tickets go on sale tomorrow for the people who signed up ?

Cameron Mackintosh said today that the Sondheim's capacity had been reduced to just over 750 - which I'm assuming takes into account the reconfigured stalls and the empty seats in the dress and upper circles. So by my reckoning that's about 70% of the usual capacity.

There's definitely an understandable move to increasing the potential capacity. The Open Air Theatre and The Bridge both did around 30% of their usual capacity (which felt sparse but very safe); The Olivier is going to be around 45% as is Nottingham Playhouse, and the Theatre Royal Bath around 50%; LWT are saying that they are currently operating a model of around 50% usual capacity - though whether this the same for the panto isn't clear. As far as I know Nimax haven't actually said how what percentage of the usual capacity their theatres are planning to have - and they have that curious algorithm so it's not obvious from the seating plans.

I know that there are stringent rules in place about what is and isn't possible. However these are rules on paper and work on the assumption that people will be well behaved and take some responsibility - which as any visit to a supermarket demonstrates - often isn't the case. An empty socially distant theatre looks safe - a full one with people queuing to get to their seats, eating, drinking, going to the loo etc - possibly less so. And that's before you get into the sense of privilege which comes with having spent £165 a ticket!

Thank you! I couldn’t find an exact time anywhere. I hope you get the date and seats you want 👍🏻
